That depends on your dependencies.
This is an example of my situation.
$ aptitude why gvfs
i virt-manager Depends python-gnome2
i A python-gnome2 Depends libgnome2-0 (>= 2.17.3)
i A libgnome2-0 Recommends gvfs
I need virt-manager, and virt-manager depends on python-gnome2. python-gnome2
/recommends/ gvfs. The difference with /depends/ is that it's just extra
functionality. I don't need it, so in my situation I could safely remove gvfs.
